Fascism for Dummies [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-12-08 Fascism for Dummies Trump began his first term, speaking of “American carnage.” No coincidence or rhetorical flourish. It was the prelude. It works like this. You are surrounded by enemies. Everywhere, They can strike at you at anytime. You need protection. Turn to us. We”ll protect you. Just give us the keys-everything. We love you. You are being duped. And who better to do it than those who have no reason to exploit you- the billionaire class. The police. The military. The oligarchy. And if you step out of line- your neighbor is watching. The state must control (for your own good) at any cost. The bill of rights- is for the weak. It can’t protect you in a dangerous world. Corruption is the key to power- to believe otherwise is a lie. You’ve been told lies. We are the truth. You are dummies.
